LGG2Z471MELZ25

The LGG2Z471MELZ25 is a snap‑in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s LGG series. It delivers 470 µF of bulk capacitance at a 180 V rating in an ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in can designed to support equipment downsizing.

Engineered for general‑purpose applications, this polarized capacitor combines high ripple handling, low leakage, and 105 °C endurance to support power filtering, smoothing and energy‑storage needs where compact, reliable bulk capacitance is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance at 180 V, with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 1.30 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 1.95 A at 100 kHz for effective smoothing under varying load conditions.
• Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 870 µA (after 5 minutes at rated voltage, 20 °C), supporting stable long‑term operation.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ (DF) max 0.15 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Compact Snap‑In Package — φ22 × 25 mm radial, can‑snap‑in package for reliable PCB mounting and reduced case size compared to larger LG series parts.
• Polarized Design & Packaging — Polarized aluminum electrolytic with tray packing; status: mass production.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to applicable RoHS directives.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and rated ripple current make it suitable for smoothing and decoupling in power supply circuits.
• Equipment downsizing — Ultra‑smaller‑sized snap‑in package supports reduced enclosure and board footprint requirements.
• High‑temperature environments — 105 °C rating with 2000 h endurance enables use where elevated operating temperatures are expected.

Unique Advantages

• Compact bulk capacitance: 470 µF in a φ22 × 25 mm snap‑in can provides substantial capacitance while minimizing board space.
• High voltage capability: 180 V rating accommodates higher DC bus and power rail applications without series configurations.
• Robust ripple handling: Combined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings (1.30 A @120 Hz; 1.95 A @100 kHz) support a range of switching and linear power environments.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation: Low leakage current (870 µA) and controlled tan δ (0.15 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) help maintain stable performance over time.
• Designed for reliability: 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C under rated conditions provides a defined lifecycle metric for thermal stress planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial equipment.
